Dear Bruce and family. We were shocked to see that Gail had passed. Gail was a great member of the Springbank exercise class and coffee club and she always regaled us with her stories, and her personal and original sense of humour. We enjoyed the times we enjoyed at pot lucks at her lovely home. As we have been shuttered this past year our group had not been informed about her health and I know I speak for all of us when I send our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
